The AV Permit form is now online only (see left sidebar). Please allow at least 1 day for processing before checking out AV items.

New books and audiobooks including award winners and popular series titles including the entire House of Night series and the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (both in print and in audio format), Elephants Cannot Dance: an Elephant and Piggie Book, I Spy Fly Guy, LOTS of new Non-Fiction titles, and MANY more!
We have new Mathematics textbooks and manipulatives in the LRC Library this year. This means that our holdings will not match what is offered in the school systems ( we're a year ahead).
We now have a total of 32 iPods, 26 of which are iPod Touches, all available for 1 week checkout. Any of the titles in our audiobook collection may be loaded onto them as well.
The LRC has 5 iPads available for checkout. Ask about the loan period at the Circulation Desk.
There are 23 new High Definition video cameras available for checkout. They record to SD cards and are very compact.

All of the LRC computers now have a link to the new U Drive (Xythos). This web-based file storage system will be taking the place fo the old users drive that was available in all of the computer labs on campus. To access this drive off campus, just type files.tntech.edu into your web browser and sign in with your PCLab account. This new system will allow you to retrieve saved files from anywhere (on or off campus) and offers students 250 MB of storage space. For more info, go to: http://www2.tntech.edu/ITS/labs/UDrive/index.htm.

Make sure you check out Question of the Week under the Alexandria bulletins. Every week we give away a free book to the winner of this email contest.
You can now see pictures of items when you search in Alexandria online. When you click on a specific title, the details screen should show the picture of the item along with the publisher's information. All of the books in the easy and fiction sections have been updated with pictures. This will be an ongoing process throughout the semester.
The Show Map feature is now available for all items. On the details screen for each item, you can click the Show Map link toward the bottom of the page to bring up a detailed map, pointing to the item's location within the room.
